Resume Filename Best Practices Research Report

When writing a resume, the name of the file is a detail low in importance for most job seekers.  Unfortunately, this leads many to disregard the filename.  Palladian completed a study of filenames used by actual job seekers for their resumes, and identified a number of common mistakes and best practices.

In the study, Palladian identified four elements that routinely appear in the filenames of resume.  The most common was an indication of the job seeker's name.  Also common were the word "resume," a version number of the resume and the date the resume was written.
